Finally. I can soon play Monument Valley 3 without a stupid Netflix subscription. Loved the first two and was incredibly disappointed to discover I couldn't play the 3rd.
~~OUT~~ OH MY GOD THANK YOU
i was incensed by the exclusivity announcement. i couldn't understand why an indie developer (if they have any ethics) would sell out like that.... of course i was answering my own question.....
disclaimer: i don't necessarily hate Netflix contents. i hate corporations trying to expand into everything, every market, every region, every industry and capture all resources and all customers like if Spectre from James Bond was a giant amoeba with a binge eating fetish.
edit: spelling/auto-complete 🤦
It's pretty tempting to know your next offering will sell, even if not a single customer plays it. No need to consider layoffs, etc.
